Coming Soon: Artist-In-Residence
Art by LEM, Intersect Antigua-Barbuda
The team here at Intersect Antigua-Barbuda is pleased to announce its forthcoming Artist-In-Residence programme.
In 2020, Intersect received a grant from the Women’s, Voice, and Leadership – Caribbean programme administered by the Equality Fund.
This grant financed the design, domain, and upkeep of this website. With this support, Intersect Antigua demonstrated its commitment to “storying” the Caribbean region for gender justice by procuring approximately two hundred poetry, essay, short story, photography, and art submissions across two volumes of its annual Caribbean Feminist Stories (CFS) project.
Intersect Antigua-Barbuda is now the recipient of a solidarity grant from the Black Feminist Fund and a catalyze grant from the Equality Fund which will be used to finance one of its signature programmes for 2024, an Artist-in-Residence series.
“Through this program, we hope to demonstrate and spark dialogue about the importance of literary and artistic expression to Caribbean feminist movements.”
The second volume of our CFS project marked our first opportunity to remunerate a small cadre of writers, the Vincy Writers Group, who were affected by La Soufrière’s eruption in 2021.
Now, with the support of both grants, we can continue to support the work of writers and artists through our Artist-In-Residence programme. Through this programme, we hope to demonstrate and spark dialogue about the importance of literary and artistic expression to Caribbean feminist movements as well as our commitment to compensating writers and artists for their labour.
Beginning in April, 2024, Intersect will host one Caribbean writer/artist who will work in residence for three months.
